Arsenal Fans Unveil Huge 'Refugees Welcome' Banner Before Stoke Game

Arsenal fans have become the latest to show their support for victims of the current refugee crisis, unveiling a huge banner reading "REFUGEES WELCOME" ahead of their Premier League game with Stoke at the Emirates.

In addition, the Gunners players wore special T-shirts promoting Save The Children during their warm-up, while £1 from every ticket sold for the match will go toward the charity's response to the refugee crisis.

A huge thank you to @Arsenal, who are donating every £1 for every ticket sold for today's match to help child refugees. #RefugeesWelcome

Though, some couldn't help compare the club's generosity with the still excessive cost of tickets at the Emirates...

Refugees welcome (tickets are still £60 a pop, though). https://t.co/L4KwUbLjgV
